[Clearwisdom.net] I have read the article from Xingdao Daily titled "My View of Falun Gong". I felt that it was totally different from my understanding about Falun Gong. I was planning to write my own version of "My View of Falun Gong". However, I decided that it would be more appropriate to write one called "My View of My Husband, A Falun Dafa Practitioner". Since I do not practice Falun Gong, nor have I read the Falun Gong books, I do not know much about Falun Gong. However, I know very well about my husband. I only want to tell the facts and I have no intention to praise or criticize anyone. I am a Christian. There was a period of time when my husband started to practice Falun Gong and stopped going to church. I was very disappointed and felt that he was moving farther and farther away from God. Therefore, I tried very hard to stop him from practicing Falun Gong. Once I even smashed his favorite fax machine and threatened to divorce him. What I did not understand was that no matter how hard I tried to irritate him, it could not shake him or get him angry (even when his fax machine was destroyed). He indeed tolerated a lot! We had an old house for sale and I increased the price $1,000 to a friend. Knowing this, my husband patiently pointed out to me that I should not have raised the price and we should sell the house with the initial list price. He said: "It doesn't matter how much money we make. Being honest and truthful is the most important thing in our life." I was sincerely and completely convinced. Therefore, I gave up the idea of raising the sale price. During the recent holidays, although he went out to practice Falun Gong and sometimes came back home late, he always patiently helped our children with their homework whenever he had the time. He even stayed up until 1:00 am one night. What touches me the most is that he teaches our sons to always think about other people, first. He often told our boys: "Your mom is very busy at work. You should help your mom more with the housework." As a result, our two children are good students both in character and academic studies. Our nine-year-old, youngest son, can even cook. There are many examples like these and I will not list them all. I have found that since my husband has practiced Falun Gong he has become healthier. He used to have aches all over his body. Previously, he always applied pain-reliever plasters, muscle-relaxing oils and wine to his body, and he smelled very bad. Now I never smell those things any more. I am not good at writing, but I just want to write down the facts as I have seen them. Wife of A Falun Gong Practitioner in Toronto January 10, 2001
